Timeless Chinese Wisdom
From a Chinese Medicine point of view, if the body’s resistance is strong, illness will not occur. It is only when there is a weakness that the body will succumb to ill health. If Qi, life-promoting force, is balanced throughout your horse’s body, he will be able to manage the external pathogens more successfully
In Chinese thought, the lung and large intestine organ systems are the first line of defense, working in concert with all of the other internal organ systems to provide air nutrients (oxygen), Protective Chi, and an ongoing process of cleansing the body so that it does not become toxic.
